, you sure do push aren’t you? He wrote often that things will be done and he will tell us all when it’s done.

It wasn’t only me asking each time about progress. I am just asking wether is a new version or not since we don’t have any ETA of what’s been added/changed so I can know whether I download and compile it or wait for more stable version. That is all ! Not pushing anything, I know and his team are working hard to do miracles. Sadly, my PC can’t afford to compile UE4 many times since it overheats in compiling because it needs too much ressources which would be an overkill if I download and compile each branch separately, that is why I was asking about the merged branch so I can do it once for all the gameworks.

is a new build of VXGI integrated into UE4-4.7.4. Because these are still early days for VXGI as a product, the versioning is still a bit loose. We are calling version VXGI-0.9, which indicates that we don’t consider it to be fully mature, 1.0-level release yet. Developments take place daily. I’m afraid I don’t have a concise summary of what changed in build vs. the last one, but several bugs that were impacting shadows, stability, range, etc., were fixed, either in the integration or in VXGI itself. We are still working on the 2nd-bounce implementation, but what I’ve seen so far looks promising. The shader compile time problem is also high on the list, as well as overall performance improvements.

Regarding FleX, the water shaders are making progress, but I’ve been told we still need another week or two to roll it out. I saw a demo of it the other day, it looks promising, but there is still work to do on the shadows, translucency, etc. I’ll be working on the merged branch as time permits.

Wow second bounce coming too. Thank you very much. It would be worth the wait. I hope will be integarted by default in UE4 just like APEX clothing when all GameWorks are finished.
